Shades where sometimes used as another name for the souls of the Underworld. It was said that a Shade appeared as a "reflection" of what the person was like in life.
In God of War: Chains of Olympus
In God of War: Chains of Olympus the Shades are the standard minions of Morpheus' army. They often show up by emerging from the black fog of Morpheus. They appear as specters that are covered in armor, and wield two glowing swords. Kratos can damage them by grabbing them and giving them a strong headbutt. After doing enough damage, he can kill them by throwing to the ground, and beheading them with his blades. Kratos encounters them as he journeys through the city of Marathon, and around the outside parts of the Temple of Helios. Shades are also often accompanied by Shade Archers who attack from a distance.
